Acne is still one of the major skin problems that women and girls suffer from. We all have those days when we wake up and find a huge pimple in the middle of our face. We all dream of that magic trick to get rid of a pimple overnight. Well, ladies, it looks like there is a solution and it's an acne sticker!
How to Get Rid of Acne Fast and Permanently
These pimple patches or acne stickers work like bandage blister plasters or patches. You place them on your pimple overnight, and they contain a dressing called hydrocolloid which extracts moisture from your acne and therefore minimizes it a lot. You can actually DIY pimple patches in these small circular shapes to get rid of your acne quickly and here's how:
Create Your Own Overnight Acne Patch for Fast Pimple Healing
Method 1:
1. Head to a good pharmacy and buy blister plasters.
2. Start cutting out or punching out small circles out of the blister plaster. Make sure the circle patches are a good enough size to cover your acne.
3. Start cleansing your skin, especially around your acne or pimple.
4. Place your DIY acne patch and leave It on overnight.
4. In the morning, take off the pimple patch and you'll notice your pimple's size has reduced or it could have even disappeared.
5. Give your skin another good cleanse in the infected area.

Overnight acne patches are easy to use and can be effective in healing pimples quickly. However, they can be expensive to purchase. If you are looking for a more affordable option, you can make your own overnight acne patch at home.
ingredients:
Hydrocolloid bandage
Honey
Tea tree oil
Steps:
- Cut a small piece of hydrocolloid bandage to fit over the pimple.
- Apply a thin layer of honey to the pimple.
- Place the hydrocolloid bandage over the pimple, making sure that the honey is completely covered.
- Leave the patch on overnight.
The honey will help to soothe and heal the pimple, while the tea tree oil will help to kill bacteria and prevent the pimple from spreading.
The Role of Skin pH Balance and Simple Tips to Keep It
Tips:
- For best results, use a hydrocolloid bandage that is at least 1/4 inch in diameter.
- Apply a thin layer of honey to the pimple. Too much honey can clog the bandage and make it less effective.
- If you have sensitive skin, test the tea tree oil on a small area of skin before applying it to your pimple.
- If you experience any irritation or redness, remove the patch immediately.
- For added healing power, you can add a drop of lavender essential oil to the honey. Lavender oil is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
- If you don't have any hydrocolloid bandages, you can use a regular bandage. However, keep in mind that a regular bandage will not be as effective at absorbing excess oil and fluid from the pimple.
